Acute cardiac care & resuscitation
Evaluating neurocognitive outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors: A comparative study of performance-based and reported measures
Authors' conclusion
The results of this REVIVAL substudy suggest that although the performance-based and reported measures did not correlate, dual neurocognitive screening tools containing both a self-reported and an informant-reported version may have the potential to detect executive discrepancies in the return to everyday life and guide targeted neurorehabilitation after OHCA.
